Questions

Should I experience you today, should I snatch you from the heavens as a filler and dim your internal eternal light? If I experience you, you are now longer my Thou but an It, He or She, thing amongst things; indeed it is inevitable that I experience you and you leave the realm of thou and become it, but does that have to be today? Is the extraction of your beauty necessary, can I just leave you as thou and be contempt with this existence, can I defy my human nature? If the love i have for you dwells between the I and Thou but is the responsibility of the I for the Thou does that mean that I can only be and an I in order to love you? If this is so then that means that I have had to be experienced by you before you love me and for me to love you, and if love does not cling to the I but dwells between the I and the Thou are you sophisticated enough to love me? If "In the eyes of him who takes his stand in love, and gazes out of it, men are cut free from their entanglement in bustling activity. Good people and evil, wise and foolish, beautiful and ugly, become successively real to him; that is, set free they step forth in singleness, and comfront him as Thou."(Buber 28), does that mean that my love for you will rejuvinate you as Thou? Can you distinguish the difference between feelings and love? If "Feelings dwell in man; but man dwells in his love." (Buber 28), do you understand that feelings are intertained and my love can not be, but will come to pass? That "Feelings are metaphysical" (Buber 28). Should I experience you today?

Nique, the symbolism, realism, and clarity of this piece is wonderful. The intertangible and multifacitousness of our beings in cosmic.

I love you freely too. I always will.

I'm going to read this book.

I want us to experience each other.
